Do GUI Agents Know When Not to Act? Enabling Conflict-Aware Termination for Multimodal GUI Agents

The paper introduces CONFLICTGUI, a benchmark that tests GUI agents on instruction-internal and instruction‑GUI context conflicts, revealing that many agents over‑comply with infeasible instructions. To address this, the authors propose CONFLICTGUARD, an inference‑time framework that couples a feasibility verification protocol with a conditional action modulation mechanism, enabling agents to assess instruction logic and GUI evidence before acting. Experiments on five agents show that CONFLICTGUARD significantly improves conflict‑task success while maintaining normal task performance.

ComAct: Reframing Professional Software Manipulation via COM-as-Action Paradigm

arXiv:2606. 13239v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing computer-use agents remain fundamentally limited in professional software manipulation: GUI-based agents suffer from fragile visual grounding and long-horizon error accumulation, while API-basedapproaches struggle with heterogeneous protocols and inaccessible commercial interfaces.

ComponentBench: Diagnosing Component-Level Failures in Computer-Use Agents

ComponentBench is a new benchmark that evaluates computer‑use agents at the component level on modern web UIs. It contains 97 canonical UI components and 2,910 programmatically verified tasks, along with cleaned human reference trajectories for measuring task success and interaction efficiency. The benchmark also offers a scalable pipeline for auditing structural difficulty and synthesizing failure analyses across tasks and component families.

AgentAbstain: Do LLM Agents Know When Not to Act?

arXiv:2607. 10059v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent systems based on large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed for autonomous tasks, yet existing evaluations mostly focus on task success rather than whether agents know when to abstain.
